AuDHD Life: Anyone else?

Yeah.. I’m only new at this but realising why I have so much conflict in my head has been helpful. @0ddsidian

Ive seen lots of memes but no actual funny ones

Thanks for starting this thread!

No problemo, @Captain24! That conflict is WILD, hey?!

Here's a couple more memes before I clock off 😊

They are good @0ddsidian and yep I relate. Definitely the right diagnosis’s for me. I’m more confident in this that the bipolar

Thanks for sharing @Captain24 @0ddsidian ! Great thread!

So glad that you feel like these diagnoses fit you better, @Captain24.! So many diagnoses and symptoms overlap anyways. It's almost like we shouldn't be trying to fit humans into neat little boxes 😂

I relate so hard to that shame pile. I've started and stopped SO many hobbies. Most of them stare at me while I'm working. Have you had any hyperfixations, interests or hobbies that have kind of faded?

Totally! @0ddsidian

I have so much resin stuff and mosaic stuff that I haven’t touched for months! Like a whole shelf full in one of the wardrobes. I get obsessed with things. I also have several diamond arts to do and I started a paint by numbers that I haven’t touched for ages. I also have a Lego obsession with about 30 sets to complete and more in the way! But I still do do those. I also have 3 books to read but rereading each paragraph several times frustrates me.

I'm the same with arts and craft supplies @Captain24. I have clay jewelry supplies, scrapbooking supplies, beads, stickers, knitting supplies, watercolour pants and acrylic paints. Knitting has been the most consistent one that I do, but I actually haven't touched it in like a month. I struggle to read unless I've taken my meds, but I do enjoy reading. Sometime I struggle to do things unless the timing feels perfect, or I feel like I'm going to be perfect at actually doing it. If that makes sense 😅

I didn’t think to try reading medicated! @0ddsidian. I don’t have time tomorrow but I can try it on my next days off.

It totally makes sense. I’ve got this mosaic design in my head but I’m scared to start it incase it doesn’t work out how my head pictures it, same for the resin. Plus there is a bit I don’t know how to sort out so that’s stopping me too!

So I had a whole hyper focused moment today. I was building Lego and forgot to feed my dogs. Lunch was a little late! @0ddsidian
